Plaza Vieja

Plaza Vieja is one of La Habana’s oldest and most iconic squares. Located in the old town, nestled between centuries old buildings and a majestic baroque cathedral, the plaza has a rich history and culture. It was the site of much political gatherings in the 1950s and is home to the iconic ‘calderos’ fountain from 1795. Today, it serves as a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, with countless restaurants, bars and street food vendors. A charming sight is the colorful buildings, adorned with classic wrought iron balconies and the vintage classic cars that flicker in and out of the plaza. As you stroll through the streets, you can explore the historic buildings and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere that Plaza Vieja offers.
